Learning @ TPPS
Tempy’s Got Talent
There are many talented students at TPPS, but which house has the most talent?
This term, we are on a quest to find out!
Students will be given class time to practise and prepare a talent in one of three categories: dance, music or drama. Students who do not wish to participate in the competition do not have to. The purpose of this experience is for students to build their confidence and enjoy performing.
Students who choose to compete will perform for Ms Huber during their Performing Arts class. Selected students will then progress to the semi-finals, where they will perform for their house and earn points for their house.
Semi-Finals -
Grades 3–6: Friday 21 August (Week 6), 2:45 pm–3:30 pm
Prep–Grade 2: Friday 4 September (Week 8), 2:45 pm–3:30 pm
Grand Final
The grand final will take place during the last week of Term 3. Each house will have one Prep–Grade 2 representative and one Grade 3–6 representative.
The eight grand finalists will perform for the whole school under the COLA, showcasing their talents.
The winning students will earn house points for representing their house and receive a gift card.
The grand final will be held on Tuesday 15 September from 12:45 pm. Parents are welcome to attend if their child is performing in the grand final.
Important Information
- Performances should be one minute long, with a 20-second leeway.
- Students who choose to compete will select their talent and form their own working groups.
- Students are responsible for bringing any equipment they need, such as sheet music, costumes or props.
- Students must come to school in their school uniform and change into any costumes before performing.
- Keyboards will be provided for students performing piano pieces. Students performing with other instruments or equipment are responsible for bringing their own equipment.
